The Steelers vs. Browns on Thursday night ~ What a shit show. And then the game ended like this:
I've wondered sometimes why certain violent, vicious, intentional acts on the playing field aren't considered crimes - with the player arrested and prosecuted. There are plenty of police on the field and around the stadium at every game.
That is actually coming up in a couple of articles I read this morning. One reporter asked the Cleveland police about it, and their response was 'no comment', other than the QB Rudolph hasn't filed charges.
So two questions: 1) since when do the police need a formal complaint before arresting a suspect, when the crime is committed right in front of them, and 2) will Rudolph file charges?
(My expectation is Rudolph will either blow it off as 'in the past and we're focusing on our next game' or 'the league is handling it', and won't want to have the rep around the league as the one that did so. Same with his agent - he'd still get the blame. The team should file charges, or publicly insist that he does if it needs to be him)
